Kids.......
Thought some of you might enjoy this little story.....
This morning I was taking my five year old daughter to school and she starts off with.. "Daddy I have to tell you something"... She starts telling me that I need to start keeping our special cars. Past 3 years I have sold 3 cars. She says that I have to keep our special Ruby Vette because t is such a pretty color. Whom am I to argue.
My "Little Princess" just loves cars!

My 12 year old son loves to be dropped off at school in the vette. All his friends are standing there and they all stare. He thinks he is so cool 
He says "will I get to drive this someday". I say "maybe". I use it as a stay out of trouble, stay in school , incentive.

P.S. When i picked up the pizza, I put a cotton towel on my seat so the pizza box wouldn't touch my car
. And since it's only about a 1 minute drive to Papa John's, i don't have to worry about smelling up my car with pizza!

My "Little Princess" just loves cars! This is great! Our daughter will be born in June, and I'll be looking forward to the time when she's big enough to ride along in the Vette.

My grandson who's 8 always asks if someday my Corvette will be his.
I always tell him it could be if nothing happens to it.
He loves riding around with me, and wants to know when we can go again.
That's about the age I started noticing Corvettes, but it took a long time to get one.

Yeah, I got the same thing. Wanted to know when I was going to teach him to drive it. I just kind of chuckled and told him it will be sooner than you think. They grow up so fast. In a few years I'm going to be missing my little buddy.
